Across
- 2. Y-shaped proteins made by B-cells that recognizes parts of a pathogen, bind to them, and mark them for destruction
- 4. destroy infected cells that have been tagged by B cells
- 8. characterized by redness, swelling, soreness, and warmth
- 9. rod-shaped bacteria
- 12. a virus structure that is shaped like a long tube
- 13. a molecule that binds to a cell receptor
- 16. a virus structure that is a 3-dimensional, many-sided structure
- 18. the process of building new virus particles from the proteins and genetic material
- 19. chemicals on the surface of the pathogen then trigger the specific response
- 20. remain after an infection to allow a quick antibody response if the same pathogen is encountered again
Down
- 1. cells that defend against parasites
- 3. takes antigens from the surface of pathogens and presents the antigens to B cells
- 5. a small abdominal organ that is part of the immune system
- 6. small immune system organs found in the back of the mouth
- 7. a virus particle
- 10. spherical-shaped bacteris
- 11. what the oil on your skin is called
- 13. an enzyme in tears, sweat, and saliva acts as a natural antibiotic
- 14. tag the pathogen with antibodies
- 15. the process of breaking down the viral capsid by enzymes from the virus or the host
- 17. releases histamines to inhitiate inflammation at an injury or infection
